Sometimes It's Storks

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Brothers Hilts. "The day was set; we called New York, / and they decreed you'd come by stork." A parent tells the convoluted tale of how a child joined the family: the stork, distracted by a fish, put the baby on a rock; a crocodile gave the baby to a bream; etc. The rhymes scuttle by smoothly, swept along by the chunky, vaguely retro mixed-media art.
